Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and

save them for future reference.

◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to

the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance.

◗ Check the condition of the mains cord regularly. Do not use the

appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is damaged.

near or over water contained in baths, washbasins, sinks etc.

When used in a bathroom, unplug the appliance after use since

the proximity of water presents a risk, even when the appliance

is switched off.

◗ For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual

current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not

exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom.

Ask your installer for advice.

◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

◗ Only use the appliance on dry or damp hair.

◗ The plates and the surrounding plastic parts of this appliance will

become hot during use! Prevent contact with the skin.

◗ For safety reasons, the straightener automatically switches off

after having been on for 1 hour.

◗ Always unplug the appliance after use.

◗ Do not wind the mains cord round the appliance.

◗ Wait until the appliance has cooled down before storing it.

◗ Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust, dirt, styling

spray and gel. Never use the appliance in combination with

◗ Always return the appliance to a service centre authorised by

Philips for examination or repair. Do not attempt to repair the

appliance yourself, otherwise your garantee will become invalid.

This is caused by the ions that are generated and it is not harmful

to the human body.

course of time.When this happens, the appliance will still function

normally.

◗ Do not probe the ioniser with metal objects.

ENGLISH 7

Styling your hair

Step 1: washing your hair

Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine

can help to achieve this.

◗ When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60

seconds.

◗ Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it

between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.

◗ Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or

pull long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.

◗ Massage your scalp with your fingertips. This stimulates blood

circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.

◗ Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.

Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

Step 2: drying your hair

To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for

straightening. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a

professional, smooth finish.

◗ After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your

hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle

hair gently from the roots to the tips.

◗ Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the

back.

◗ Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair

length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its

nozzle pointing towards the hair ends.

◗ When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to

the cold setting for a final cold shot. This closes the cuticles and

leaves your hair glossier.

B

Tip: Philips Protect hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a

stronger airflow than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they

dry just as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way.

ENGLISH8

Step 3: straightening your hair

Straighteners are powerful styling tools and should always be used with

care.

◗ If you use the straightener incorrectly or if you use it at the

wrong temperature, you could overdry your hair or even burn it.

Always follow the four steps below to select the right

temperature for you hair type! (fig. 2).

- Always select a low heat setting when you start using the

straightener for the first time.

- For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, selected a medium

(120cC) to high heat setting (160cC).

- For fine, medium-textured or softy waved hair, select a medium

(120cC) to low heat setting (100cC)

- Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair,

since it will be susceptible to damage at high temperatures.

◗ The display shows the selected temperature and the remaining

time of the straightening session.

- Look at the display to see the temperature you have selected.

- The bars on the display show the remaining usage time of the

straightener. The total usage time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes

one of the six bars will disappear.

1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.

2 Press the on/off button.

The pilot light burns red to indicate that the straightener is heating up.

Ions are generated as soon as the straightener is switched on and and

are released through the ion output holes.

3 Let the appliance heat up. The default heat setting is 100ºC.

ENGLISH 9

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in. Never

put the appliance on a surface that is not heat-resistant when it is

heating up and when it is hot.

4 When the pilot light turns green the default temperature of

100cC has been reached. When the appliance has reached this

temperature, you can adjust the temperature to your preference

(fig. 2).

- Press the + button to increase the temperature or press the -

button to decrease the temperature. The display tells you which

temperature you have selected. The pilot light turns red to indicate

that the appliance is adjusting the temperature.

- The pilot light turns green when the selected temperature has been

reached.

5 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth

(fig. 3).

Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair

in one section.

B

Tip: it is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair

underneath first. Then straighten the top area.

6 Take a section that is not wider than 5 cm. Place it between the

straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly

together.

7 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds,

from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating

(fig. 4).

8 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the

desired look.

9 Allow your hair to cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it

has cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just

created (fig. 5).

ENGLISH10

Cleaning

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

2 Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant

surface.

3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

Storage

Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.

2 Let the appliance cool down on a heat-resistant surface before
